Can you take pictures? And can it stay underwater?

No, please do not try to use the case underwater. The package says you can, please do not. I followed the instructions precisely and tested it prior to use. The case leaked when it went under water in a 4 foot pool for 5 minutes. My ipod was destroyed.

Yes you can take pictures. No, it can't stay underwater without leaking. Do NOT trust this case to be waterproof. My iPod got ruined from this false advertised piece of junk!!

The camera is water proof. You don't need a casing. Just rinse with water after a dive in the ocean. Read manual for more details

There is one that I know of fire this camera, you can find it searching Amazon or eBay. It is crazy expensive and it costs more than the camera. I'd suggest one of the bag style universal cases for underwater.... They work well enough for a casual weekend scuba diving anyways.

O wish I could answer for you. We used the camera while at the beach and the camera was never underwater for that length of time. It never leaked, though.

Danilo & Kim are correct, it won't take stills while shooting video... still, it's a nice little camera. Did a great job underwater too.

Unfortunately it's basically impossible to swim under water with this pouch. An air pocket forms in the pouch. It allows you to take pictures with the lens in the water, but as far as diving goes? I'd look somewhere else.

I did some snorkeling while on vacation and the camera takes excellent photos and videos underwater, you will not be disappointed. As for the GPS, it did work while snorkeling, which was approximately 6ft underwater not sure if it will work going deeper underwater...hope this helps

Yes, but I'm going to change my rating on this camera. It stopped working two weeks ago. I didn't use it underwater that much, but the last time my husband used it, it stopped working. From the reviews I'm reading now, it doesn't sound like the company is willing to help out. While fun to use underwater, I will not buy another one.

This device is not waterproof. There are special waterproof containers for cameras, and most scuba shops rent cameras that will work underwater.

if you set the under water mode it should work better then when i used it.. i forgot to set it for underwater mode! lol but i was 15 foot under water and it didnt mess up or anything. i just wasnt able to take to many pictures because i didnt have the mode set! plus i was trying to take pictures and a video prob would have worked better ( i was filming fish!)

I was thinking about buying this camera before Christmas, and I viewed a test report video online. The reviewer actually went out on a lake in a rowboat, talked about the waterproofing feature, and then actually dunked the camera and lens under water. He then immediately lifted the Pentax out of the water and proceeded to take pictures with it and it worked!! So perhaps the answer is you should not try to swim under water with it, but it does survive a quick dunk underwater if you happen to drop the camera into water.

yes you can use the camera under water. there is a gel filled screen protector that allows you to use your touch screen and your volume buttons can still be used to snap pics as well. i dint dive with it but did climb a waterfall and hang out on a beach during a tropical storm. it took nice pics and vids and kept my iphone dry. i'd contact drisuit to see what depth its rated for if your gonna dive with it. http://www.mydrisuit.com/

It is waterproof for a few seconds but not for underwater activity. I used it take pool and beach photos. I also dropped it in a pool. However, if I submerged it for any length of time, say a minute or so, there would be some moisture in the case. I would Not submerge it for prolonged periods.

yes, I recently took it with me to Jamaica and had no problems with it. It never leaked underwater and took wonderful pictures for a small point and shoot camera.

Yes, it is an underwater camera and you can take it under water. We have used it under water during snorkeling, probably 30 minutes at a time. Works preety good.
